Vanuatu's prime minister Charlot Salwai has scolded MPs over claiming sitting allowances when they don't turn up in parliament.
He says some MPs who were not present in parliament during a special sitting last week have tried to claim the allowance.
He's reminded MPs only those present and recorded on the roll of parliament's deputy clerk are entitled to the money.
